Newcastle are ready to make a ã12m bid for FC Lorient's 23-year-old striker Kevin Gameiro. Full story: News of the World (Subscription required) http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/gossip_and_transfers/9416124.stm Interesting.. opinions?
Nice to know we're being mentioned with a striker though. We weren't well enough off for them when we let Carroll go so we definitely need somebody coming in to replace him. Just hope it works out.
AbsolutelyGlorious, I agree Ba has done well but do you not get the impression, as suggested by the handling of his transfer, that as soon as he doesn't get his way he'll go into an almighty strop? Best scored again yesterday and he always looks a danger in the air and looks to poach a goal whenever its in the box. His conversion to chances ratio is much better than Sholas. Give him another half season i say, before deciding to drop him. He might do well with a better 'little' player alongside him; lover was pish yesterday.
Spurs and Arsenal also linked with Gameiro so we'd have serious competition. But he looks decent. Wouldn't do any harm to sign another Frenchist player so Ben Arfa has someone to chat too also. I bet Stoke regret losing out on Ba.
**** yeah, my hopes are coming true.....pleeease sign him he's mint.... News of the World's source: http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/34511-Kevin-Gameiro
Not seen a lot of him but from what people on here are saying and if Spurs n Gunners are interested why not put in a serious offer for him
That looks godly, but would also wipe out the whole budget! Wouldn't be able to get a work permit for Wellition either. Would love to get Gameiro, great scoring record.
Agree with this definitely! Would looove Gervinho and Gameiro. Basically the team I play on Fifa (haha..sorry)...in love with Gervinho on it!
I really hope this is true. I think it is a really good thing that we are scouring the French league. There has to be so many hidden gems, ala Nzogbia, Bassong, Ben Arfa.
